About the Bombardier Karting Night
It's your turn to drive at the Bombardier Karting Night, presented by Savannah Air Center, Friday, July 27th. This fun-filled evening will bring out the Michael Schumacher in everyone!
Upon arrival at Fastimes Karting Center, participants will be given safety instructions and a brief training program. Each driver will be issued a racing suit and helmet. Then, it's off to the indoor track to select your kart and wait for the green flag to drop.
Computerized timing and scoring is used to track each person's or team's results. A victory lap is given to the winner(s). Following the victory lap, a podium awards ceremony is presented to cap off the event.
Food and beverages will be served throughout the evening to ensure drivers are properly "fueled up".
